I'd like that Vivaldi is also a great option, and the company is a legitimate employee owned cooperative. https://vivaldi.com/blog/news/alert-no-google-topics-in-viva...

Vivaldi is closed source, even worse than Chrome in privacy features: https://privacytests.org

Brave is objectively the best mainstream privacy browser.

That site is ran by a Brave employee[0]. The author claims that there's no COI, but one ought to be suspicious if Brave passes almost every single test barring the ones that no browser can pass.

His employment status does not change anything. The tests and the page were the same before he joined Brave.

The tests are open source, objectively verifiable.

Author's employment status is being just used as an excuse to refute objective information imo.

Seems par for the course for a browser which came into existence to peddle crypto magic beans, tbh.
